Why do people obsess over "Same As It Never Was"?! - Page 2

*pennydreadful* · 11-09-2014, 09:05 PM

Good point; I guess it would've probably been harder to be as invested if you're not as hugely into 2k3. I think that a miniseries, either animated or in comic form, would've been really well-received by the fans.

*Netkeeper* · 11-10-2014, 04:16 AM

Yeah, that episode isn't going to hold as much meaning to someone that doesn't care about 2k3 or hasn't watched a lot of it. Whenever I show the series to my friends, I tell them not to watch that episode out of context. Wait for it.

*pennydreadful* · 11-10-2014, 04:52 PM

Or don't watch it at all, unless you want to end up sobbing in the foetal position.

Seriously man, I know this gets said all the time, but I'm getting so jack of waiting for this show to be released on dvd. Literally, what do I have to do? I'M DESPERATE. I WILL SELL MY BONE MARROW.

*Netkeeper* · 11-10-2014, 05:59 PM

Same, basically. Time to hit up the black market guys.

Don't you mean re-released...? Pretty sure it was released back in the day.

Not it's not, that's just your opinion. Shredder Strikes Back parts 1 and 2, Tales of Leo and Exodus 1 and 2 are better.

True dat - ok, I'll reword: re-released and all seasons actually available.

Preferably a nice big box set of all seasons, with lots of special features and commentary.

That would be worth a lot of bone marrow.

See how that works? This is a forum, & most of you are actually sharing opinions, in fact. It's hypocritical for you to say he's wrong & then tell him why as if it's not purely subjective.

*Netkeeper* · 11-11-2014, 05:06 AM

Adding "in my opinion" to any opinion is redundant. Sorry some people don't get that memo.

**Jester** · 11-11-2014, 05:15 AM

We all know the best episode are the ones with Turtle Titan anyway.

Actually, even the [/sarcasm] tag isn't necessary in your post. People get it.

Oh wait, not all people

I really loved SAINW, but I also loved The Monster Hunter, Turtle Titan, and Good Genes. Sons of the Silent Age was another great one, as was The People's Choice. It just depends on your personal taste. In any case, I do think it was one of the best-written episodes, a la 1984, Animal Farm, and other classic dystopian fiction. I think it shows a much more realistic view of what the OT Shredderville TRIED to be. While that one was done mostly for laughs, this one hit home just how big a threat he was.

SotSA and TPC were fantastic eps. I really loved those early season 4 episodes based on Northampton. They were Mirage adaptations and Leo's struggles just gave them an extra dimension too. I, Monster and Cousin Sid are also both brilliant.

**Jester** · 11-11-2014, 11:40 PM

Don't get me wrong. I love the 1st Turtle Titan episode...because it wraps up that bit of Mikey at the end. Then they decided to bring Titan back a few to many times. The >> and Back to the Sewer episodes being the worse offenders.

Yeah, I think the Season 5 Turtle Titan episode was the best one after the first. Mainly because it also wraps up Nano's storyline too.

*IndigoErth* · 11-12-2014, 01:41 AM

I suppose it's the emotion, but personally I wasn't all that impressed. Though I will admit that I was strongly considering skipping it when I finally watched the series over the summer. Was glad each segment was at least fairly short. Not much of a fan of storylines that suggest the end to them... would much rather that was forever left open ended and unknown.

Only end I could probably accept would be if they ended the entire franchise and killed them off with it. But that would be heartbreaking in that case.

I'll admit, I really liked Membership Drive.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 11-12-2014, 02:17 AM

Same here. I don't get why so many dislike Nano. I thought he was a cute, sweet, and kind of sad character. I was glad when he finally got his "happy ending" with the Justice Force. I liked the episodes with them, anyway, and having him join them was just great.

*Netkeeper* · 11-12-2014, 03:30 AM

I loved Nano. The ending of that first episode was just heart-wrenching.

TurtleFan2012 · 11-14-2014, 03:38 PM

I wonder why Future Ch'rell looks completely different in that episode? You think they would have checked Ch'rell's design before drawing him.
